Could be a vaccum leak, could be a whole lotta things. Could even be your throttle cable expanding when hot. If you blip the throttle, will it go back down?

Sounds like ya have an automatic (park)? It could be due to a PCM problem. The cars computer could be compensating for a sensor fault. I read about a problem much the same a while ago... The problem was the O² sensor.

Try getting your PCM scanned, should give you an indication of what sensors are faulty. (if any)

just got my car back today over this. my fuel injection controller and a few spark plugs were dead. let's go team. could also easily be a vacuum leak. PCB valve could be clogged (can cause problems on some cars) O2 sensor could be fubared, anything dealing with fuel injection, spark plugs, etc.
